Breast implant surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the UK, and we commonly get asked, “how much does breast augmentation cost?” Breast enlargement is also known as a ‘boob job’ and has one of the highest patient satisfaction rates of any procedure carried out at Centre for Surgery in London. There are many different types of breast implants, and breast enlargement costs will vary on several factors, which will be discussed below.
How much does a breast enlargement cost?
The exact price for any cosmetic surgery procedure will be given to you once you have had your face-to-face consultation with your surgeon. After your surgical consultation, you will meet with your dedicated patient coordinator to run through all the different treatment options and their costs. Other types of breast implant brands vary in price, including the complexity of the breast augmentation procedure to be carried out. All surgeons who carry out breast implant surgery at our clinic are breast specialists, and we carry out hundreds of breast enlargement procedures each year at our state-of-the-art clinic in London. All our surgeons have full GMC registration and often belong to specialist associations such as ISAPS or BAAPS.
At Centre for Surgery, we ensure you get the best possible medical care, which includes:
- In-depth consultation with a specialist breast surgeon with many years of experience carrying out all types of breast surge

Breast augmentation surgery starts from £4995, with exact prices dependent on the type of breast implants used and the complexity of the planned surgery. For a rough guide to costs, please speak to one of our patient coordinators on 020 7993 4849. We would recommend a face-to-face consultation with an experienced breast implant surgeon where a detailed treatment plan will be prepared. Your patient coordinator will base your final quote on the treatment plan designed by the surgeon.
Consultations for breast enlargement surgery cost £25, which compares very favourably with other surgeons and clinics, which often charge more than £150. Breast augmentation surgery is carried out at our central London Baker Street clinic.
What does breast augmentation cost include?
When you receive your quotation after the consultation, you should be clear on what the quote includes and does not include. Many clinics don’t include all potential costs with hidden extras that patients will have to pay for, including your postoperative support bra or medicines.
The total cost of breast surgery at Centre for Surgery includes the facility cost, the anaesthetic fee and the surgical fee. Your patient coordinator will act as your dedicated point of contact for any questions you may have about your quotation. Some surgeons may request preoperative blood tests, and these will also be included as part of your consultation.
If your quotation comes back and appears especially low, then you should enquire with the clinic to see what items have been left out from the quote to keep the headline price low. If the price seems simply too good to be true and it has been emphasised that all items have been included, you should certainly ask yourself why the price is so low. Is the surgeon or clinic cutting corners somewhere? Especially in cities such as London, where the cost of breast augmentation will be generally higher compared with other parts of the UK, this may be an area of concern if a clinic is significantly cheaper compared with others in the same area. Generally, most clinics charge similar prices for this procedure. Anyone offering significantly lower prices may mean that the facility may lack proper accreditations. In the worst-case scenario, having treatment in such clinics could risk adverse severe effects on your health.
We would recommend carrying out as much online research as possible and visiting several different surgeons and clinics to get an average cost for the procedure. Once you have a clear idea of treatment costs, you can then focus on the reputation of the clinic and surgeon and what the total package of medical care contains. This includes what post-operative care will be given to you after the procedure.
In all cases, it is not possible to receive an exact procedure quote before attending your breast augmentation consultation. Low prices may be an indicator of the experience of your surgeon. Highly skilled and experienced surgeons may cost more in the short term, but they should be considered a significant investment in getting the best results most safely and effectively. Whilst the cost of the procedure is a consideration for many, it should not be the most important one for deciding whether to go ahead or not.
What are my breast implant options?
Once you have decided to proceed with breast augmentation surgery, there are several factors you will need to take into account when deciding on treatment:
- Breast implant brand – Mentor, Sebbin or Motiva
- The breast implant size
- Round or teardrop breast implants
- Breast implant profile – moderate, high or extra high profile
- Breast implant incisions – inframammary, periareolar or through the armpit
- Breast implant placement – Dual plane (under the muscle) or subglandular (on top of the muscle)
Whether it’s high profile or low profile, under or over the muscle or 300 or 400 cc, there are several options to take into account when planning your procedure. Our breast surgeons have many years of experience in performing breast implant surgery. They will be able to advise you on the correct implant parameters after assessing you at your consultation. Often your Surgeon will make detailed measurements of your breasts and may perform implant sizing to help you choose the right implant size for your body frame.
